BAY VIEW STOCK FARM, Circa 1930 Barnstable Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy have joined forces to protect one of West Barnstable'smost scenic treasures -Bay View Farm. To complete the acquisition,BLT andTNCmustraisethe remain- ing $288,000 before June 30. The property at 1247 Main Street is just south of where Route 6A crosses the railroad track. The long meadow in front of the house is reminis- cent of abygone era when open fields and farms once covered our landscapes. The Bay View Stock Farm once comprised 600 acres. It wasaworkingfarm untilabout 1928when afire consumed the house and barn. The house as now seen from Route 6A was built around 1930. In 1941 the house was sold together with 109 acres. In 2003, when the family sold Bayview Farm, 30 acresof upland and salt marsh remained. While identifying prime par- cels for acquisition, Bayview Farm emerged as aprime can- didate due to itssize and prox- imity to coastal resources. The Sandy Neck/Great Marsh Area of Critical Envi- ronmental Concern is a top conservationpriorityfor many regional, state, and national conservation organizations because of its high quality barrier beach and extensive salt marsh. The whole area is part of a 14,000-acre coastal ecosystem that stretches from Dennisto Sandwich,providing an important marine nursery and a nesting and feeding habitat for numerous migrat- ing shorebirds. Last year The Barnstable Land Trust and the Mas- sachusetts Chapter of The Nature Conservancy worked collaboratively on Phase 1 of the Bayview Farm preserva- tion plan. With help from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the State Department of Conservation and Recreation, BLT acquired the 2-acre field infront of the smallcapehouse and 12-acres of salt marsh on the north side of 6A. The partnership of BLT and TNCisnowhopingtocomplete Phase 2 of the Bayview Farm Project which includes 2 acres of upland and 7.65 acres of salt marsh and inter-tidal wetland. Located on the south side of Route 6A these 10 acres have extensive frontage on Bridge Creek. The field south and west of the house abuts the Town owned "1776" property which is now known as the Bridge Creek Conservation Area. All of the land helps to connect nearly 300 acres of conservation land to the Great Marsh ecosystem. Through the work of BLT and TNC, more than $500,000 has already been committed from the State and Federal Land and Water Conservation funds $288,000 remains to be raised before June 30"'. "We are hoping that local residents will agree that the scenic integrity of the area is an important community asset and that they will dem- onstrate their concern by contributing to Phase 2 of the Bayview Farm Project ," says Kristie Kapp of West Barnstable.
